Abstract

Previous studies had identified several construction’s critical success factors (CSFs) in their hierarchical order, and one of these factors is leadership. Eleven academic articles were found that produced list of these construction’s CSFs in ranking order based on the significance of these factors towards the project success. Thus, this paper presents the average level of significance of leadership factors amongst CSFs. Level of significance for each leadership factor was determined based on formula presented in this paper. It was found that leadership factor was averagely 74.2% significance amongst to the CSFs. This implies the need of strong leadership role in ensuring construction project success which should be emphasized to parties involved in undertaking construction projects.
